Shoyu chicken bento today, with sliced lotus root (renkon) simmered in the same sauce. Also, roasted baby Brussels sprouts and purple potato slices. I filled in with an orange and a yellow pear tomato for color. Other section has a purple carrot skewer, white nectarine, strawberry, black grapes (underneath) and a carved jack o'lantangerine. Today's the first day I've thought about roasting stuff in a long time -- guess that means fall is just about here. I hope we cool off gradually though; today was a perfectly comfortable 76F. ^_^

your jack-o's are always the best, getting me in the mood for halloween right at the start of the season! yummy flavors here, definitely starting to feel like fall veggies (though 76 is still pretty hot!)

It's fun to see Sonoma Bento's Jack O'tomater today and now your Jack O'lantangerine - what fun names :D. My coworker asked me to make him Halloween-themed bento this morning, and your Jack O'lantangerine is a good idea I think :D

miss japan, Lia, Jana, megan, SonomaBento, Pipaw, bentobird, Kelly, Just a MOM, Chantale and tatabonita: Thank you for your comments! You should all definitely make the tangerine Jack; it's fun to do, and so easy!

About Me

I am a former research scientist turned stay-at-home-mom of 2 who got started with bento in an effort to help my kids learn that eating healthy and nutritious foods can be fun and cute. I make a bento lunch for my 14yo (9th grade) son & my 10yo (5th grade) daughter every school day, and post the pictures on my sherimiya ♥ flickr photostream. Here in this blog is where I describe each bento, and you'll also get a peek inside our family adventures. Thanks for taking a look, and please let me know what you think ^-^!
